Before you say I do.....WAIT !

As the big day comes closer , your heart races with excitement each time you think of it and the married life that awaits you.Who has the time to spare serious thoughts for any PRE-MARITAL MEDICAL TESTS and Counselling ?Well,don't take them lightly.If you really want to do everything you can to ensure your happily -ever after ,doctors recommend that your partner and you go in for some pre-marital health tests or even counselling.By and large, pre-marital medical tests are easily categorised into three types -

TESTS FOR SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS,

GENETIC CONDITIONS and

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND FERTILITY.

-----------------------------------------------------------

SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS-Bringing up these tests with your partner may be a delicate issue.However,it would be foolish to assume that neither of you have been sexually active and hence carry no risk of any sexually transmitted infection. An HIV-AIDS test is a MUST,though it's a delicate topic to broach for young couples.I've seen many of our women patients [ thanks to my parents - Doctors ,they are :-) ] suffer after marriage when they contacted the HIV virus from their husbands.

GENETIC TRAITS AND HEREDITY

Knowing about your genetic condition is very important as soe hereditary traits can affect the health of your child.Example - Both your partner and you may suffer from a genetically passed-on condition .While you may not suffer from it yourself ,if both of you are carriers of the condition ,there is a large risk that it may be passed on to the child.Some tests may include - Polycystic kidney disease,haemophilia,muscular dystrophy and sickle cell anaemia.

REPRODUCTIVE CAPABILITY AND FERTILITYThese tests ascertain the reproductive capabilities of both partners.The need for these depends on how keen you two are to have a child once you are married.Some tests may include - Hormone function tests and Analysis

PRE - MARITAL COUNSELLING

Finally,if as a couple ,there are issues that you still need to sort,you should also opt for a few pre-marital counselling sessions that will help you gear up for the life ahead."In India match-making is still done on basis of horoscopes(somebody says something.....) and the religious and financial backgrounds of the two families .It is high -time that we start ascertaining the compatibility of the couple on more practical and realistic grounds with the help of pre-marriage counselling and medical tests"Ultimately,anything that helps the couples tie the knot with more confidence and start their relationship on a sounder footing,should be looked upon favourably.(With inputs from -the medical team & my friends who are now newly pass-outs Doctors from MAMC & King Grant's Medical College & my fav. doctor :-) ) After all , HUM NAHEIN BOLENGE TOH KAUN BOLEGA !!

hi karan....nice writing....i want to add that as far as match making by horoscope is concerned, it is not useless....medically it prevent the incompatible blood group persons from tying a knot by ruling out marriage in same gotra....t

@Ashwin - In today's world where things change at a rapid pace, science and medicine have progressed at a great speed. Even if something has been diagnosed, I believe one has a cure. Or least one knows what precautionary steps to take so that the offspring’s don’t suffer in any which way. Love is something which gives one a reason to live. And it also gives the another, a chance to try.

You may think its the power and the pride that comes with the post which an IPS officer holds or some of you may say its the
sheer status the word IPS reflects upon . The perks like most of us
know , is having an unprecedented power , a lal-batti , a huge team which does
' Jai Hind ' and a whole lot of a new world .

Given, I have had a good fortune
to be in a family of IPS and know and understand from them what is it being an
IPS officer most of the above mentioned movies or may be the image we tend paint
in our minds is very different from what actually is an IPS officer and what
all does he undergoes to be one.

I would put my take on this and
share with you all my thoughts on what is a life of an IPS .

Studying is just a part of it .
The civil services examination is considered not only the toughest in Indian
competitive examination scenarios but also one o…

There is something about rains and open spaces that make me a little more than hilarious . And not only me , couple of others as well .

Today , rains in Delhi bought back the festive cheer killing the week long SMOG clouding all around Delhi / NCR . As I up for an early morning catch-up breakfast with a few special folks , we decided let's step out and drive away to a place far from the traffic snarls yet has a festive cheer .

The thought came to go to Kodaikanal . While you may think I am crazy and my rest of the gang mad but then this is how life should be - unplanned , unbiased and unimaginable yet positive .

Known world over as the princess of hill stations this place has made me fall in love all over again . My first thought on reaching here was , this can't be in India . This has to be a foreign location. Pristine surrounding , lovely people to talk to and spend time with and not to forget the bicycles that can be rented to take a ride or two around the famous Kodaikan…

Everytime I travel, I look forward to meeting new people. New places as well can be explored but what is home without humans!? Off late, besides the flights getting delayed, I like to reach the airport ahead of my scheduled departure timing & sit around in the lounge & read or chit-chat. Works for me. Last week was fun & yet a bit hectic. During one of my lounge visits I hosted a dear friend ( though exactly for 15 minutes ) for a small #CoffeewithKaran session & off he had to go. In those 15 minutes we spoke in true blue corporate styles. First 5 minutes updates from him and I sipped my hot chocolate and then the next 5 minutes updates from my side. The remaining 5 minutes were spent on discussing ' better than before' . During my flight I met an amazing doctoral student or a fellowship candidate as she likes to be described. She was pursing her close 4 years doctor fellowship from a premium institute and such was her focus that she decided not to get married …
